My first attempt at peppers. I have a couple of bell pepper
plants that are fruiting. I have had two of them that have
developed a tissue thin brown spot on them.

Is this something that just happens, and I've never seen it
before because peppers with spot never make it to Safeway?

Sunburn. To protect peppers from sunburn, pinch plants to encourage leaf
growth.

That's an interesting document, thank you.

I'm going with the "bugs on the inside" theory, though. Were it
sunburn, you'd expect to see it on all the bells, and I don't.
Plus, on further inspection, the brown patch actually looks
nibbled on the edges of the inside half.

Plus, when I asked my girlfriend about it, she said, "Oh yeah,
you can get that."
